Packers news: Aaron Rodgers describes the "beauty" of his relationship with Mike McCarthy

“The beauty in our relationship was that it grew year after year and we learned how to communicate with each other,” Rodgers said. “The beauty in our on-the-field relationship was that there was a ton of trust. When I read stuff like, ‘I'd disrespect him by changing all these plays,' I had a lot of latitude. He knew that and I knew that. I called the two-minute, I'd call stretches of no-huddle offense. … A lot of times, he'd send two plays in. ‘Hey, do you like this or that?' That's what it grew. The trust level was really high. I know it might make it tough on a play-caller when I'm going in a no-huddle period or I'm going in a two-minute of knowing exactly what's called, but that's the trust that we had and that's why I appreciate getting to play for him for so many years.”

The relationship was rumored to have always been strained, but after the two carried on for many seasons, it's obvious the two are better off apart at this point. Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy have voiced a mutual respect for one another, but the team could get back on track now with a revamped coaching staff.
